Mama Ni Yen (2)

Its a little late but I was busy preparing for exams. Enjoy.

1) A female counsel stood up to move an application. After she had spoken for a while, Mama asked her "How are you doing Elizabeth?". Counsel replied and said "I am fine ma but my name is not Elizabeth." Mama said "This one that you are speaking with an accent, I thought you were the Queen of England." The lady replied with a smile that its her natural accent. Mama then asked what university she went and she said OAU Ife. Mama shouted "this one that you are blowing yeye fone and grammar, you did not even study abroad, all this your accent is from watching television. Ok now we know you have dstv in your house, please speak to me like a Nigerian".


2) The lawyer was questioning his client as a witness in a divorce case. Everytime the witness was asked a question, he would go off on a tangent explaining why he hated his wife so much and end up not answering the question. His lawyer would tactically answer the question for him. This is not allowed, A lawyer can only question but not answer.After a while, Mama got angry and asked whether the lawyer was the witness? She told the lawyer that if he was so keen to answer the questions, he can go and divorce his own wife and then he'll be entitled to be a witness.


3) A lawyer was cross examining a witness in a divorce case. She was in tears but he kept tearing her apart with his nasty questions.Most folks were irritated with the lawyer's approach but we could not do anything. Mama descended into the arena and told the lawyer to chill but he was still grandstanding. She then told him to shut up and stop blaming the woman as if the man wasn't guilty. She asked if the woman was the only guilty party and the lawyer said "I wouldn't know". Mama said "you wouldn't know because upon all your gra gra, you are a woman not a man. In other words, you are a coward."


4) In the case above, the lawyer accused the wife of something nasty. Then Mama started singing "E ma ba mi le iyawo mi lo, oto ni ejo ti e ro, oto ni ejo ti e da, e ma bi le iyawo mi lo, amebo shut up your mouth, amebo shut up your mouth".(Someone pls translate).
